Project Overview
This project involved setting up an Ubuntu virtual machine using VirtualBox, configuring a robust firewall with UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall), and verifying server connectivity using tools like SSH, Curl, and Nmap. The firewall configuration included defining rules for network traffic, securing the server, and ensuring accessibility for authorized services.
Key Skills Acquired
- Virtual Machine Configuration: Designed and set up a virtual machine with specific hardware and storage requirements using VirtualBox.
- Firewall Management: Configured UFW to manage incoming and outgoing network traffic with precise rules for security.
- Network Traffic Analysis: Verified open ports and network configurations using Nmap.
- Server Access and Validation: Used Curl and SSH to confirm server accessibility and secure communication.
- Security Policy Enforcement: Applied default policies to deny unauthorized access while allowing necessary connections.
